Then Swedish Government has proclaimed on Thursday, 12th September, that it will astronomically increase grants for
immigrants who will choose to leave their country and return to home base, to motivate more migrants to do same.
Immigrants who voluntarily return to their home base countries would be eligible to receive up to 350,000 Swedish kronor ($34,000),from the right-wing government, which is bolstered up by the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, said to a press conference.
“We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in our migration policy,” Migration Minister Johan Forssell told reporters.
Currently, any immigrants willing to leave, can receive up to 10,000 kronor per adult and 5,000 kronor per child, with a cap of 40,000 kronor per family.
This is relatively unknown, but ‘The grant has been around since 1984. it is relatively small, and few people use it’
Ludvig Aspling of the Sweden Democrats told reporters.
Aspling also added that the more people were aware of the grant and its size was increased, more would likely accept the offer.
The pronouncement came despite a government-appointed probe last month advising against a significant increase in the amount of the grant, saying the expected effectiveness did not justify the potential costs.
Conservative Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson promised to counter immigration and crime after he came to power in 2022 with a minority coalition government fortified up by the Sweden Democrats which emerged as Sweden’s second-largest party with 20.5 per cent in the last general election.
Sweden has taken in a large number of migrants since the 1990s, mostly from conflict-ridden countries such as
Syria ,Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the former Yugoslavia.
